Trinity

  Of course Reece lifted me and put me into the car. He also gently leaned over me to buckle me up because apparently I must have forgotten how to do that while I was in the hospital. You know how we women forget so many things if we don't do them every single day.

  After I was securely fastened in the back seat of the car Reece moved over to the other side and slid in next to me so that Noah could drive us home. I caught sight of Noah's eyes in the mirror as he watched the whole process and I could tell that he was trying really hard not to laugh at Reece right now. Don't worry Noah, I wanted to laugh at him too.

  "You know, Fido, I can do little things for myself. Like buckling up, feeding myself, breathing. I am not dead or in a coma. I am alive and well. I just need to keep myself from getting excited and not let my heart rate get too high." At that Noah did laugh as he pulled the SUV away from the curb and started to drive us home.

  "I know that." Reece glared at the back of Noah's head, clearly embarrassed and not appreciating the laughter at the moment. "But you are my wife and you are carrying my babies. I am three times as worried as a normal man. Can you blame me for being a little overprotective right now?" There was a fire in his eyes that clearly showed that he wasn't going to let anything slide during this time. He really was the most overprotective little puppy dog that I had ever seen.

  "No, I can't blame you at all." I said as I leaned over and cupped his cheek in my hand. "I love you for how protective you are of me. I might not like it when you're doing it at the time but I am glad that you're there to do it for me. I wouldn't be here without you, Reece. You know that, I know that, I think the whole shifter world knows that. And to me there is no one more special to me than you." After my sweet words I leaned in and kissed his lips softly.

  "Blech!" Noah pretended to gag. "Can you not kiss my sister while I am in the car?" Noah was glaring at Reece in the rearview mirror.

  "Get your fucking eyes checked, Noah. She kissed me." Reece laughed at him.

  "Nope. Not my baby sister. She would never do such a thing. Would you, Trinity?" Noah was speaking in a voice that was high and sweet, almost like he was talking about a child. I knew at once he was playing around but it was funny and would be nice to mess with my husband a little.

  "Absolutely not. I would never do something like that. Especially not with my brother right here. Why in the world would I kiss his best friend right in front of him. That would just be wrong." My innocent act was over the top and sounded totally fake. So it was exactly what I was going for. I nailed it.

  "You two are just horrible to me sometimes." Reece pouted with his arms crossed over his chest.

  "Don't worry, my love." I kissed his cheek. "I love you no matter what happens." I winked at him as I pulled away.

  "You little Devil Bunny." He followed me as I pulled away and kissed me gently on my lips.

  "See, you are the one kissing my sister." Noah scolded him.

  "Oh just shut up and drive." Reece snapped at him. Noah and I both laughed at our little joke as we pulled into the compound and toward the estate.

  When we pulled up to the house I saw that there was a whole welcoming party waiting for me. Juniper, Paul, Cedar, Acacia, Emmalee, Carter, Nikki, Elias, Mom, Dad, Grandfather, Lila, they were all standing outside the house, most likely having been notified that we were on our way by the gate guards.

  "Are we having another party?" I asked Reece, slightly exasperated. "Didn't we just have a party?"

  "This isn't a party exactly. It's just your closest friends and family welcoming you home from the hospital." Reece was smiling at me.

  "It's a welcome home party." I glared at him. "I didn't want a party like this Reece."

  "They set it up on their own. I wasn't in on this, I swear." He held up his hands defensively.

  "Mom wanted to see you so bad and when she told everyone you were coming home today they wanted to see you too. It's not a party really. It's just a casual lunch. I promise we're not going to go overboard." Noah was trying to both explain it and justify it at the same time.

  "This is our family we are talking about Noah, this is Mom we are talking about. It will definitely be going overboard no matter what." I could feel the anxiety growing in me now. I just wanted to be home and at peace right now.

  "Don't worry, I will keep her in check. And Dad will be there to calm her down as well."

  I had no choice but to let it all happen. They were already here anyway. When Noah parked I unbuckled myself while Reece walked around to the other side to get me out. He was carrying me princess style as he walked toward the large group of visitors. They were all smiling happily at me and welcoming me home.

  "I am so glad to see you sweetie." Lila grinned at me.

  "Welcome home baby girl." Mom was almost in tears.

  "I hope you're doing well." Dad smiled at me.

  "Don't scare me like that, Astro." Paul scolded me.

  "You need to protect you and those babies so our kids can grow up together." Juniper grinned.

  The rest were similar things, all smiles and people welcoming me home. It was nice and I was glad to see everyone but I was embarrassed about what had happened and I didn't want to see everyone so soon.

  After Reece carried me inside he took me straight to the dining room for a nice casual lunch. Abigail had done an amazing job on the meal. She had really outdone herself. I was happy to be home and eating her cooking again. No one cooked like Abigail did. While we were eating Abigail came out and welcomed me home personally as well.

  "Oh, Trinity, I missed you so much. I was so worried about you. I am glad you're home. If there is anything you want to eat, anything at all just let me know. I will make it all for you. I am going to be staying here with you all for the next couple of months just in case there is something that you want in the middle of the night. I remember my night time cravings were so bad. I was always cooking while I was pregnant." She laughed at the end as if she were remembering things fondly.

  "Thank you Abigail, but that's not necessary, really. I won't need anything at night. I could always wait until you get here in the morning." I tried to let her know that she can go home and that she didn't need to wait on me so much but I don't think it worked.

  "Nonsense child. You're a first time mother. You don't know how bad those cravings can be. Just leave it to me. Old Abigail will take care of everything." She was already walking out of the room so I couldn't say anything to convince her to not stay and I really didn't want to invoke my Luna Queen mode and force her to go home, that would hurt her feelings. Ngh, what was I going to do?

  After the meal was over everyone headed home and it was time for me to head up to my room. Reece had the next couple of days off of work before he had to get back to his busy days so he was going to be keeping me company. I didn't have to be confined to our room technically, as long as someone carried me I could go anywhere in the house. I could go to the music room, the library, the garden, and the dining room downstairs. It really didn't matter where I was as long as I stayed off of my feet. Or more like, as long as I didn't let Reece catch me on my feet.

  I wasn't going to do anything bad, honestly. But, if someone helped me to the bathroom and it wasn't Reece then I was going to walk myself to the damn sink and wash my hands. Hell I would probably be walking myself to the bathroom, that little bit of walking wouldn't hurt anything. These overprotective men were just being worrywarts. That was all.
